Lasco Fittings 465-030 3″S SCH40 PVC Elbow Fitting

Description

Westlake Pipe & Fittings 465-030 22.5-Degree Elbow Fitting, 3″ Slip

The Westlake 465-030 22.5-degree elbow is a precision-moulded fitting engineered to provide a smooth, low-resistance directional change in 3-inch PVC piping systems. Designed for both above-ground and underground applications, this elbow offers a gentle bend that minimizes turbulence and head loss compared with sharper-angle fittings, making it ideal for gravity drainage, stormwater, irrigation, and many pressurized systems where flow efficiency and quieter operation matter. Manufactured from high-quality PVC resin and formulated for long-term dimensional stability, the part features uniform wall thickness and tight tolerances so it fits securely with standard 3″ slip connections and solvent-weld assemblies.

A hallmark of the 465-030 is its balance of structural strength and workability. The elbow’s geometry distributes stress evenly around the curve, helping the system resist deformation under load and minimizing points where solids or air pockets might collect. That makes it especially suitable for systems that handle varied flow rates or where intermittent surges occur. The smooth internal surface reduces friction and scaling, supporting easier cleaning and reducing the likelihood of buildup over time — an important advantage in reuse, municipal, and industrial contexts.

Installation is straightforward. The slip connection accepts standard solvent cement and primer techniques common to PVC plumbing, allowing fast joins that cure to create a leak-resistant seam. Because the fitting is dimensionally compatible with common 3″ PVC piping schedules, it integrates seamlessly into existing designs without special adapters. Its 22.5° angle also offers greater design flexibility: two such elbows can be combined to produce a 45° turn with a more gradual radius than a single 45° elbow, or used individually when only a slight directional change is required to avoid obstacles, align to equipment, or tune hydraulic grade lines.

Durability is built into the 465-030’s formulation. The PVC compound delivers excellent resistance to most common chemicals, salts, and biological agents, while remaining resistant to cracking and UV degradation when used in exterior applications with appropriate protection. Its lightweight nature simplifies handling on site and reduces installation labor and transport costs compared with heavier metal alternatives, while still offering the rigidity necessary for buried or confined runs when properly bedded.

In short, the Westlake 465-030 22.5-degree elbow is a reliable, economical, and versatile component for any 3″ PVC piping project that demands smooth flow transitions, durable performance, and easy installation. Whether used in residential drainage, commercial irrigation, municipal storm systems, or light industrial piping, this fitting helps keep systems efficient, low-maintenance, and long-lasting.
